<p>RD Chances </p>

<hr>

<p>My stats are as follows:</p>

<p>White female from affluent NY suburb (no points there).
VERY competitive public school (Old SAT average = 1300)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.91 uw through junior year (school doesnt weight)</p>

<p>SAT: Math - 720; CR - 720; Writing - 790</p>

<p>SAT IIs: 770 US History; 750 Math IC; 630 Molecular Bio (freshmen yr)...Im considering taking the IIC or spanish in january...any suggestions?</p>

<p>Recommendations: All excellent, best part of my app I think</p>

<p>ECs: Lots of work with autism/special needs people; tennis team captain; president of 1 school club and treasurer of another...lots of dedication</p>

<p>Junior Year Classes:
Advanced Physics - A-
Honors Spanish IV - A
Advanced Latin II - A-
Honors Precalculus - A
English III - A
AP US History - A (5 on AP test...only AP available to juniors)</p>

<p>Senior Year Classes:
AP Calc AB (A- for semester probably)
AP English Lit (A- for semester probably)
AP Spanish Lang (A for semester probably)
AP Macroeconomics (B or B+ for semester)
AP Chemistry (killing me, probably getting my first B for the semester)</p>

<p>I'm nervous that a B or B+ in Macroeconomics will hurt me because I put History down as my possible major. So, what do you think? Will I get in RD? And do I have a shot at the Ingram Scholarship Program?</p>

<p>I applied to Arts and Sciences by the way</p>

<p>You sound like you have a pretty good shot at Vandy. I applied RD and for the Ingram program too. Best of luck!</p>

<p>What's your list of schools?</p>

<p>My list is:</p>

<p>Duke
University of Michigan - Ann Arbor (Accepted already)
Harvard
Penn
Cornell
Yale
Brown
Dartmouth
Northwestern
Georgetown
Vanderbilt
Emory
WUSTL
Colgate</p>

<p>I know my list is kind of top heavy but I already got into Michigan and I think I would be very happy there, so I will be ok if I only get into one or two others.</p>
